Reduced Pet Adoption Fees Throughout August

If you’ve been thinking about adopting a dog or cat, the month of August is the time to do it.

DeKalb County Animal Services is completely full due to higher summer intake. But this could be very good news for you. To encourage pet adoption, the agency is offering reduced adoption fees throughout August.

The adoption fee for all dogs and puppies is $20 and all cats and kittens is $10.

Adoption counselors will be at the shelter to ensure pets are placed in good homes.

“With up to 30 animals entering the shelter daily, we urgently need public support to help us save lives,” said Susan Feingold, DeKalb County Animal Services director, according to a press release. “By providing low adoption fees we hope to see a record number of people coming into the shelter and giving our wonderful animals a new life.”

Adopters will receive a pet that has been spayed or neutered, has had all vaccines and is microchipped.

To see the pets available for adoption, visit the shelter to see the dogs and cats.
